After we graduate, she moves to CT (this is around the yankee dynasty era, 1996-2000) and I see her in a bar wearing a Yankees hat. I was like, "what the hell are you doing?" Then she's trying to talk to me about the Yankees, and Jeter, etc. I couldn't do it. I felt sick. And dirty. Just be what you are.
They say there's no crying in baseball, that may be true, but there's no switching either.

I can honestly say that I've never worn a Sox hat. My daughter has, but no me
I was even wearing my Yanks cap yesterday to mow the lawn. Also, I feel that I need to clarify my "cheering" as a bleacher creature... There's not a lot that occurs in the bleachers that I would qualify as "direct cheering" for the Sox. If you haven't been, the general premise is:
1) Drink lots of alcohol. If your first beer is at the game, you're already behind
2) If a player looks up toward the bleachers, you yell and scream as loud as possible. If he's not a Sox, every other word needs to be a swear.
3) Repeat step #1
4) Hit the beach ball as hard and far as possible. Bonus points for bouncing it off someone's head. Extra points awarded if that person wasn't paying attention.
5) Repeat step #3
6) Don't puke - it's worse than being on the visiting team
